Corsetry

Reimagining the Corset: A Taffeta Exploration

In this project, I embarked on an in-depth exploration of corsetry, focusing on the use of luxurious taffeta fabric. The project began with a thorough investigation of both traditional and modern manufacturing techniques, allowing me to understand the evolution of corset construction over time. I delved into pattern drafting, studying the intricacies of the classic corset form, and then pushed the boundaries by modifying the original cut to create innovative variations.

This exploration culminated in the creation of an evening gown that seamlessly integrates a corset structure with a contemporary twist. By lowering the waistline, I achieved a balance between historical elegance and modern sophistication, resulting in a design that honors the heritage of corsetry while offering a fresh perspective for today’s fashion landscape.
